What is Antidote

We started Antidote to make games that would help us understand real-life systems around us. We are passionate about finding playful ways to make sense of complex topics and think that games have a lot to offer. Let's explore them together!

OUR SERVICES

GAMES: We offer complete game design services from concept ideation, to prototyping and level design. At Antidote we are technology agnostic as we put your message before the medium. We use the best tools to share your content, be it digital or real-world oriented. Before we start any project, we asses the best communication and design strategy for your message, and find ways to seamless integrate play into existing projects. We find this improves the reception and retention of information, while increasing the resilience of existing projects.

EXPERIENCE DESIGN: We enjoy a good challenge, and work well with constrains. We have designed conference-wide games like Bitten! for global events like COP18, and local collaborations with organizations like Atlas Obscura's Field Trip Day to highlight the lost architecture of New York City. Games have a way of brightening up passive environments and provide a space for participants to playfully engage with topics at your event. We have developed games for a variety of situations, and would love to share our expertise with you!

DESIGN & PLAY CONSULTING: We love seeing more play in the world, and would love to consult on your existing projects to make them more durable and fun!

Our Clients AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS

Friends and Collaborators

Our work often leads us to seek out those who have skills to augment ours. Whether they are illustrators, programmers, producers, or content experts, we have worked with a bunch of awesome people over the years. We are an active part of both the game and design community through teaching, workshops and speaking at conferences. Aside from that, we also enjoy facilitating these opportunities by helping with the organization and coordination of a number of conferences and festivals outside of our day-to-day duties at Antidote. We have learnt a lot from our fantastic partners and peers over the years, and here is a non-exhaustive list of people and organizations we've worked with, formally or informally as Antidote Games.
